Advertising is how you make people aware of goods and services. It’s not inherently evil. No one is waging warfare with you, and advertisers aren’t completely depraved. How do people get away with saying this shit? This is crazy.

Have you bought anything from Youtube advertisement? Any time I tried to disable adblock in order to get acknowledged about what's up is advertizing I finished with immediate return. There is no category of goods which might be safely consumed from Youtube ads, probably because only idiots use to watch those ads nowadays.

The meaning of having someone show you a banana, and expecting that you are going to buy a banana, is dumb-making for the viewer.
The expectation by others that you are as dumb as a gorilla takes you away from what you could become.
So in that way it's evil. It divides you from what you could be.
